As a representative old urban area of ??Tokyo, Asakusa still retains a strong Edo period style. During the Edo period, this was a bustling entertainment district with theaters and acrobatic troupes lined up next to each other. Located at the west end of the Sumida River east of Ueno, there is a temple with a temple and a pagoda - Sensoji Temple, known as the "Asakusa Kannon". Asakusa was the urban area near this famous temple and developed with the changes of the times. In the late Edo period, theaters including the Edo Sanza (Edo period kabuki theater) moved here one after another, which attracted some small restaurants and teahouses to settle here, making Asakusa more prosperous and lively. The center of Asakusa is an area known as the Sixth Ward after regional planning in 1873. Asakusa Sixth Ward used to be home to many theaters and stages, and it was a gathering place for artists. In the early Showa era, it even developed to a level that surpassed that of Shinjuku and Shibuya today. Many celebrities went to the country from here. Although Asakusa no longer has the glory of its entertainment streets in the past, many movie theaters and performing arts venues are still in existence. As a symbol of Edo culture, the Asakusa area is also a great place to enjoy delicious food. Not only can you enjoy representative Edo foods such as tempura, soba, sukiyaki, eel, loach, etc., but also zenzai mochi, sweet potato yokan, meatballs, sakura mochi, as well as glutinous rice candy, fried beans, shortcakes, etc. Small snacks will also bring you a lot of fun.
